DE \VITT CLINTON HAYSLIP, OF CIROLEVILLE, TEXAS.

CU LTlVATOR-PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 575,507, dated January19, 1897. Application filed October 21, 1896. Serial No. 609,566. (Nomodel.)

To all w/com it may concern.-

' Be it known that I, DE WITT CLINTON HAY- sLIP, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Oircleville, in the county of Williamson and Stateof Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCultivator- Plows; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to'whicli it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements insectional moldboardplows, and especially to an implement of thischaracter which is capable of being easily taken apart and put togetherwhen it is desired to replace the points or shares.

The invention consists, further, in the construction of acultivator-plow having a socket which is removably held to the bar ofthe cultivator and which is provided to hold the removable boards, whichmay be bolted to the wings of the said bar, the shape of the bar beingvaried to fit either double-cut or sweep plows; but in each case asocket is either welded 011 or removable.

To these ends, and to such others as the invention may pertain, the sameconsists, further, in the novel construction, combination, andadaptation of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described andthen specifically defined in the appended claim.

I clearly illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, which,with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of,

this specification, and in which drawings- Figure 1 is a side elevationof my plow with its point adjusted thereon. Fig. 2 is a verticallongitudinal section through the point. Fig. 3 is a perspective view ofthe point removed from the share. Fig. 4t is a perspective view of thepoint cast solid with the bar.

Reference being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates the plowbeam, which is secured at its lower end to the bar B,and O O are shares which are bolted to the strips D, which strips aresecured to the plow-beam by means of the rivets or bolts d.

E E are braces which are secured in the rear ends to the said bar B bymeans of bolts or rivets E. The forward ends of the said braces E E areheld to the lower ends of the shares C by means of the bolts 6. Aportion of each braceE, extending below the lower end of each share, isconnected to a inoldboard G by means of bolts 9.

H H are wings, which are preferably cast with the bar B and are providedwith apertures h, through which bolts are passed to secure the braces EE and the moldboards and shares together.

A portion of the bar B which extends forward in advance of themoldboards is perforated and is designed to receive the socket K, whichsocket is bolted to the said extension of the bar by means of the boltin such a way that the lower edge of the aperture in the socket will beflush with the upper curved edge of the bar B, which socket is providedto receive the points of the removable mold- -boards G.

If preferable, the socket may be made integral with the bar or may be,as above referred to, removable and made of any suitable material, as ofrock, cast-iron, or steel. When the socket is designed to be removed, itmay be held securely in place by means of a rivet or bolt, whereby thesocket may be easily and quickly removed in case of excessive wear whenit is desired to replace the same.

I have illustrated in my drawings a bar, showing its application to thesweep, and also another view showing how a short bar is attached by asingle bolt, while in another sketch is shown itsapplication to a solidsweep or shovel plow. Various shapes and minor changes in theconstruction of my plow may be made, however, whereby the plow may bemade to run steadily and in a straight line without materially departingfrom the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim to be new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is

111 combination with the bar B having its forward end inclinedand-apertured, the socket K having two parallel downwardly-projeetingportions forming between same a channel adapted to receive the inclinedend of the bar B, the said downwardly-extending portions being bentoutward at right angles thereto, the lower inner walls of which socketare flush with the inclined edge of the said bar when the two arefastened together, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.:0

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
